IN PHOTOS – Living Arts Centre & Mississauga Music present “WOMEN WHO ROCK”!

Living Arts Centre in association with Mississauga Music brings you “WOMEN WHO ROCK”! Enjoy and be sure to check out these amazing female-fronted bands on Facebook! You certainly won’t regret it!

Darkstone Crows is a female fronted rock/metal band from Mississauga.

Odd Ones is a Mississauga-based band comprised of four individuals who originally made a band 7 years ago during high school. Odd Ones strives to bring a unique sound to the Toronto music scene, and hopefully everywhere else in the world!

Red Handed Denial is a progressive rock band from Toronto, Ontario, Canada. With a passion for their craft, energy in their live performances and a unique charm, RHD sets their standards high while delivering a strong, refined sound.

POLARITY is an Alternative band challenging the current understanding of popular songwriting. The presence or manifestation of two opposite or contrasting principles or tendencies. “Our songs allow you a moment to breathe and linger in a state of melodic limbo, listen for harmonizing guitars and painfully insecure lyrics.”

Diemonds take lyrics that speak to the outcasts, wild childs, and misfits, and combines them with a hard-hitting live show, taking cues from the greats they look up to. Priya and the rest of her bandmates are firmly carving their own path in music and hoards of rock fans are already along for the ride.

Hi! My name is Melissa, I am a portrait and live music photographer from Toronto. Originally from Malton, Mississauga. I recently decided to combine my love of going to shows and photography – and I love it! It really gives me the opportunity to meet so many great people, and I’ve made some awesome friends along the way. I enjoy discovering new music and photographing the local bands – who doesn’t want a photo of themselves looking like a rock star? I first started going to shows when I was 16, and I saw My Chemical Romance about 7 times before they broke up. My favourite band of all time is Billy Talent. You can usually find me at most hard rock shows, or at ComiCon and FanExpo. I’m a lover of all things sci-fi, fantasy, and Halloween! And also cats, I can talk forever about cats.
